Shahpoor,
I found this photo at http://users.ox.ac.uk/~rowntree/photos/
This could very well be him, the leg markings are similar - Barb I think you're right.
Also, the length of skirt in the first photo might suggest early 70'ies, which would be right for Shahpoor I think.

| Yes, Shapoor by The Shah out of Mikoletta by Mikeno. Born 1971 - I think. |

Barb, that's 2 in a row to you as the horse is indeed Shahpoor and you've won extra brownie points for recognising Captain Biggs as well (Wish I could send all my friends on ALines chocolate brownies but I don't think they'd travel down the phone line too well! )
The faded snap of Shahpoor was taken at the AHS Show in 1973 at Syon Park where he came 2nd in his class. I was very taken with him for next to his name in the show catalogue I’d written ‘gorgeous’ and ‘should have come first!’ But as we all know, he did come 1st quite a few times after that. Shahpoor was bred by Captain & Mrs Michael Biggs at their Shergold Arabian Stud in Chobham, Surrey. Foaled in 1971, Shahpoor made his first appearance in the AHS News (Autumn 1971 issue) as a foal, the advert reading “The colt everyone is talking about. New bloodline and new colour for the stud.” The last line is particularly true as Shahpoor was the result of a straight Babson Egyptian stallion - The Shah, on an English mare – Mikoletta, who was chestnut with a lot of white including a splash on her belly. Mikoletta, who deserves an article in her own right, was by the famed Mikeno out of Myoletta by Manasseh. Capt & Mrs Biggs offered Shahpoor for sale in the Autumn 1974 AHS News but who did he go to next…………? I’ll leave that for my friends on ALines to take up the story………..

Bob and Lynda, in answer to your question – yes, I’m afraid the portrait of Borneo is by me but I hasten to add that’s not the reason I posted it. Rather, its because it was exhibited at Malvern one year (98, 99 I forget which) where I was asked by one of our ‘older’ breeders “who” the horse was, this is despite it being labelled with his name. I have worried ever since that it couldn’t look much like the horse in question but judging by everyone’s positive response on ALines I think I may have been worrying unduly. Thank you both for your kind comments and Bob – yes, I do heartily wish I had pursued equine art as a career though I doubt if I'd ever been as good as Susan Crawford or Pamela (HduB)

| Looks like an Egyptian and at the EAO, so would say a young Aswan (Rafaat). |

Pat
Will scan and e-mail the corrigenda (and title it as such) to you at the weekend. Glad to hear you have bought a 'Horse with the Golden Saddle,' what colour is he? (Has anyone else bought the 'new' stallion in bone china? Mine is No 4 in very dark bay)
Bob
I agree with Jane on this in that the horse looks Egyptian but which one? I'm not 100% sure though it reminds me of 'Ramses Fayek' around the head. I have an awful feeling its a horse I 'should' know!
All the best

Having had another look at the photo, there seems to have been some re-touching done round the muzzle and jawline.
And now too, I don't think it is Aswan, the hind legs are too good!

Hey Caroline,
I am amazed my old grey matter is still working, some times better than others! I would love some of those chocloate brownies. I was also very impressed by your artistic talents, so I imagine the brownies would be wonderful! I only know about Shahpoor when he was B.N.C at Ascot, in 1988?! and did well in Paris with Emrys Jones, but other than that not sure about his before or even after.
Can you enlighten us?
regards Barb |

Yes, Cate I think it might be a mare as well - and if you look at the eyes and the expression, it might be Spanish. Just a thought.
Does anyone recognise the stables from e.g. Egypt or Spain?
The tail set and the length of the back could suggest a Morafic influence.
I could very well be way off track, though.
Bob, Help
We need a clue

The silhouette reminds me a lot of Panel (Nil x Platina), but I have never seen a 'real' photograph of her. Can anyone confirm/ disprove?
Or might it even be Ecaho himself?

I think I'm going to hazard a guess that it is Ecaho.

I have a feeling that it might just be Korayem, the sire of the Maxwell's stallion Fakhr El Kheil, having initially thought of Fol Yasmeen as the horse pictured reminded me of Hamdan

| Mike I thought of Hamdan but looking at another picture of Hamdan, he was a bit different in the body, same tail set though! I am pretty sure it is a stallion, but hey I am always wrong so no suprise there! |

If you look at www.ecaho.com and click on gallery, a number of photos are displayed in random order. One of them shows a stable with a similiar brick pattern to that in Bob's photo. It might mean something, but then it might not

Barb - Thanks for your kind message, must confess that I can make a pretty 'mean' chocolate fudge cake! Will post some more about Shahpoor at the weekend unless someone else would like to? (Anyone with some of his 'family' out there?)
Cate - I agree that it looks more like a mare in the photo and Jane, yes it does look as though the photo has been touched up around the head. If it is a mare it really opens up the possibilities!
Mike - you caught me on the hop re Fakhr El Kheil's sire as I always think of him as Ibn Fakhri however......I'm positive its not Shakhs who was a much more 'substantial' horse.
Bob - we need a clue pleeeeeeeeease! (How does it feel to know you've got us ALL stumped this time!! )
Yours thoroughly bemused
Caroline
PS Malvern is a week today everyone!! Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! |

Did this horse live in Germany Bob?
Buildings look northern European to me, I dont mean anything rude or dismeaning, but it does not look Man enough to me to be Ecaho Anne, so where is Bob hiding?!!!!

Eacho, has pink pigmentation on his lower lip which is quite distinctive. Also a bit on his nose which is quite visible too.
I reckon he/she in the photo is high percent egyptian though.
No help really I know |
